Top 5 Books Of All Time!

Recently a post went around Facebook where you asked your friends to request Top 5 lists from you. 

Of course, the first person on mine asked me to list off my Top 5 books. 

That's like asking me to name my favorite child! 
(hint, it's actually one of the cats)

I think I've figured out what to put on my list.

IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER: 

​

The Hobbit

This book was one of my first forays into a more grown up form of fantasy novels. I probably didn't grasp it "properly" at that age but I enjoyed it enough to read again over the years. 

No, I haven't seen the movies. The book is NOT 3 movies long and I've refused. 



​The Giver

This book was my first glimpse into the world of Dystopian Fiction (even though didn't know what to call it then) 

Again, I haven't seen the movie because I hold the book in such high regard and it's a bit of nostalgia for me. 



Darkfever

This isn't the first time I've recommended this book. 

Because it's fantastic. 

The "love story" is totally unhealthy but the characters are so engaging you end up cheering for them. The world-building is fantastic and the writing is beautiful.



​​The Scarlet Letter

I know. I actually liked a school assigned book. 

It's actually one of the few I read most of the way through. I've written several papers for English classes (both mine and others ha!) about this novel. 



​The Clan of the Cave Bear

BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD JUST BECAUSE I SAID I LIKED IT

Trigger warning for a rape scene. It's short but totally makes sense for the characters and plot development. 

I've read this book so many times I can't remember. The rest of the series was very meh and this book works fine as a standalone!

I'll lob the question back to you! What books are on your Top Five? 
​No cheating!
